 Republics of Difference: Religious and Racial Self-Governance in the Spanish Atlantic World by Karen B. Graubart English | August 5, 2022 | ISBN: 0190233834, 0190233842 | True EPUB/PDF | 368 pages | 9.9/23.7 MB Spanish monarchs recognized the jurisdictions of many self-governing corporate groups, including Jews and Muslims on the peninsula, indigenous peoples in their American colonies, and enslaved and free people of African descent across the empire. Republics of Difference examines fifteenth-century Seville and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Lima to show how religiously- and racially-based self-governance functioned in a society with many kinds of law, what effects it had on communities, and why it mattered. By comparing these minoritized communities on both sides of the Spanish Atlantic world, this study offers a new understanding of the distinct standings of those communities in their urban settings.  Stanley J. Grenz, John R. Franke, Brian McLaren, "Renewing the Center: Evangelical Theology in a Post-Theological Era" English | 2006 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 0801031818, 0801022398 | PDF | 115,9 mb Renewing the Center is an important foundational book for the emerging church.

Praise for the first edition: "Grenz has written a lively and engaging work that should help American evangelicals chart the challenging course of their theological future. He offers a balanced, carefully-argued, and lucid prescription for the way ahead. Accordingly, I highly recommend this book and hope that it receives the wide reading that it so richly deserves."-Kenneth J. Collins, author of The Evangelical Moment
 Elizabeth Scarlett, "Religion and Spanish Film: Luis Buñuel, the Franco Era, and Contemporary Directors" English | 2014 | pages: 211 | ISBN: 0472052454, 0472072455 | PDF | 2,9 mb Treatments of religion found in Spanish cinema range from the pious to the anticlerical and atheistic, and every position in between. In a nation with a strong Catholic tradition, resistance to and rebellion against religious norms go back almost as far as the notion of "Sacred Spain." Religion and Spanish Film provides a sustained study of the religious film genre in Spain practiced by mainstream Francoist film makers, the evolving iconoclasm, parody, and reinvention of the Catholic by internationally renowned Surrealist Luis Buñuel, and the ongoing battle of the secular versus the religious manifested in critically and popularly acclaimed directors Pedro Almodóvar, Julio Medem, Alejandro Amenábar, and many others. The conflicted Catholicism that emerges from examining religious themes in Spanish film history shows no sign of ending, as unresolved issues from the Civil War and Franco dictatorship, as well as the unsettled relationship between Church and State, continue into the present.  Amarjit S. Narang, "Region, Religion and Politics: 100 Years of Shiromani Akali Dal" English | ISBN: 103237733X | 2022 | 420 pages | PDF | 10 MB An objective and dispassionate study of the oldest religion based regional political party: the Shiromani Akali Dal, participating in the democratic politics and processes of socio-economic development and transformation of the country. It delineates and analyses events and developments from the emergence of the Akali Dal, as a religious movement, its transformation into a religious political party, concerned with safeguarding the political, social and economic interests of the Sikhs as a minority and to represent them in governing institutions, engaged in the struggle for power in secular domain mobilising the community support using the ideology of fusion of religion and politics, yet lacking equal support from different sections of the community. Rather than dwelling on a mere narrative of events and describing strategies, tactics and agitations of the Akalis an attempt has been made to understand why and how social and economic antagonisms arising out of generation and articulation of demands in a pluralistic society, undergoing modernization and democratization may be marked by identity politics. The study is located in the broader framework of rise and growth of regional parties and identity politics in India as a part and consequence of India's adopted model of state and nation building, integration and socio-economic development and transformation.  Reexamining the National-Philological Legacy By Edited by Vladimir Biti 2014 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 9042037830 | PDF | 3 MB Has thinking, working and teaching in terms of national literatures become obsolete in today's globalized world of hyphenated languages, literatures and cultures? Since the rise of modern European national philologies coincided with the emergence of modern European nation-states, does the dissolution of the latter in the European supranational unity imply the suspension of the former? Or we must, on the contrary, consider the fact that today's Europe is not only postnational but, in its re-nationalized East-Central-European part, post-multinational as well, i.e., emerging out of the breakdown of the postimperial state formations such as the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia?
